Corrections.
We work hard to get things right, and when we don’t, we want to know. Corrections are part of reporting honestly, and we make them openly.

Report an error
E-mail [email protected] with the link to the story and a short explanation. Please tell us about:
- factual inaccuracies, including wrong figures or events;
- misspelt or incorrect names and titles;
- incorrect dates or places;
- missing or wrong attribution of information or quotations;
- problems with a photograph, its caption or its credit.
If you can, include evidence such as an official document or a link to a primary source. You do not need to give your name for us to consider a correction, but an e-mail address lets us follow up.
What happens next
An editor reviews every request, checks the story against the evidence and, where needed, the original sources. If the story is wrong, we correct it as quickly as we can. If we conclude it is accurate, we will tell you why.
How corrections appear
When we correct a significant factual error, we add a dated note at the end of the story explaining what was wrong, for example:
Correction — 28 October 2026: An earlier version of this story gave the wrong date for the meeting. It took place on Tuesday, not Monday.
We do not silently change the substance of a published story. Small fixes that do not change its meaning, such as typing errors, may be made without a note. When a story is substantially updated with new information, it shows an “Updated” date next to the publication date.
Removing stories
We rarely remove published stories. We may do so for legal reasons, to protect someone’s safety, or when a story is so seriously wrong that a correction is not enough.
